some stuff you should watch...

1. DOCTOR HORRIBLE'S SING-ALONG BLOG! Only available for viewing online thru July 20! You can also download and view each and all of the three acts from the iTunes store.Brought to you by a creative team featuring BUFFY/ANGEL and FIREFLY creator Joss Whedon, Doogie Howser, Malcolm Reynolds, and Potential Slayer Vi, as well as others of clan Whedon, the story is set in a universe that neighbors BUFFY's on one side, and that of the VENTURE BROTHERS on the other. It's a supervillainous adventure!... Into romance!... With song!

I totally dig this song, but I wonder if I'm the victim of a copycat A-Ha "Take On Me" phenomenon, y'know? The one where Brian reaches for the newer milk in the back of the refrigerated shelves and gets sucked into that world where everyone is rotoscoped and pencil sketched, and the pretty boy singer w the big hair smashes his way out of it and into the real world and when Lois asks him where he's been he says, "I don't know!" Anyhow, I saw the video and loved it before I ever heard the song on its own.
